This week is always a tough one each year for my family and for me.

We all recall the then horrifying news of the crash of the flight four family members had taken that day. The loss of four at once was definitely devastating and had caused major shifts in lives, as the hole created within the family was huge. The heartbreak just so overwhelming.

At the same time, our hearts also went out to the many families having lost loved ones in the same plane crash. 80+ passengers. No survivors.

Many years have passed now. It's taken a long time to get to a truly peaceful space when remembering and feeling the loss.

I feel their souls had quickly found peace, for which I have always been grateful.

I still miss them very much. We all miss them.

We are grateful for the time we'd shared together!
We are grateful we had the opportunity to hug them at the airport just before they'd boarded their flight.

My family has endured many tragic losses. Some members are withdrawn and cannot reach out due to the pain of having suffered so many losses. Some of us are more open and express our love for one another even more than ever. Neither response is "correct" or better than the other. We all understand one another's limitations.

Life is fragile.

I have learned to let those I love KNOW I love and appreciate them, whenever I have the chance to do so.

Today, as I recall a tragic loss, I want to express my admiration, my appreciation and my deep gratitude for members here at the NeuroTalk family.

Warmly,
DejaVu
